The crew started some routine maintenance work after the ferry made the last run Monday night.  During the overnight hours they determined some parts will be required that will not be available until sometime during the day, today.

The Cave-In-Rock Ferry will be temporarily out of service until repairs are completed.

The Cave-in-Rock ferry will attempt to provide timely notice when service is able to resume.
